As we all know, slashing red tape has been such a good idea in the past. Grenfell, environmental issues, pollution in rivers, deregulation of the banking sector, privatisation……. all this good stuff had at its core the desire to ‘slash red tape’ and much of it, but sadly not all, was foisted on us by Tory governments.
